Does anyone know any good films that deal with the idea of an incredibly gifted person having to live with the burden of hiding their unique talents/intellect/wisdom, so that they don't attract attention from others who, for whatever reason, don't encourage it.

The kinds of film I'm talking about for example would be something like 'Good Will Hunting' or 'Matilda', so don't include those obviously, I'm already aware of them. Cheers.

I was gonna say GWH... Oh well. Lol

How do you like them apples?

Robin Williams performance was fantastic I thought.

Good Will Hunting

Cheers man.

Haha, sorry I only read the first paragraph before posting. 😅

Ah your grand man, you were kind enough to answer, no worries.

Merlin 🧙‍♂️ (It’s a show not a movie)

Yeah 👍

Legend, thanks for that.

Why are you upside down?

What are talking about?

... ... ... nothing.

That’s what I thought

Powder

Phenomenon

Haven’t seen it

How do you know it fits the bill then?

I said Phenomenon (the Travolta film) and Powder (1995).

My bad mate

It’s ok.

Also, Idiocracy?

Yeah that fits, noice. Although it's funny that he is of average intellect, but everyone else is a moron. He still has to hide it to fit in though.

In Silence of the Lambs and sequels/prequels Hannibal Lecter has to hide the extent of his intelligence to escape captivity/capture.

Bravo. Love the Hannibal character.

Escape to witch mountain

You are so right man, gosh I haven't seen that film in so long, thanks!

Spiderman? 😅

I want to say... "Limitless", maybe?
